TASTESThe 6 Tastes
Taste has meaning in Ayurveda, and brings physical and emotional changes to your body.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and is your body's reaction to foods much in the same way that your emotions are mental reactions to experiences.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.
Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below? Food and herbs with the following tastes could aggravate your symptoms.
| SWEET
Sweet refers to anything builds tissue, including macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

DOSHASThe Three Doshas / Body Types
Your body type shows how your strengths, as well as how your body typically goes out of balance.
It also shows how your body responds to the environment.
Your body type is comprised of certain qualities and affects every part of you
- your physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
This is because your body type is based on how your body uses energy.
Ayurveda has 3 body types (doshas), called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Vata spends energy.
Pitta burns energy.
Kapha stores energy.
Vata people tend to be easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Pitta people tend to be hot, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Kapha people are heavy, stable and grounded, but if they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion.

HOW DOES EATING AYURVEDICALLY MAKE YOU FEEL?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. Food digests with ease when right for your body type (dosha).

Once you begin eating Ayurvedically, you will feel refreshed, vital and strong.

Yummy! Even my 16-year old son and his friend liked these!
I would like to share the similar recipe but that one will be suitable to Vata because apples are not raw. The ingredients are the same, but peel and dice the apple, put it in a small pot, add about 1 tbsp of water, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Check if apple pieces became soft. If not, simmer a few more minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. You can mash the apple with a fork, if you like. Add cinnamon and honey. Super delicious!

Delicious!
I like to dice 1/2 an apple, sprinkle with cinnamon, dice the rest of the apple, and sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top. Then I heat it in the microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Then I top it with coconut oil and mix everything together. Yum!! :)
